Collateral Damage (03-08-2023)
Up until 1998, I could do my own taxes. In October 1998, my business partner and I incorporated and bought an established business. I have not been able to do my own tax return since then. Bought another ongoing business and a commercial building in 2005. Sold the building in 2018 but still have both businesses. Still need a CPA for the books and tax returns.

Well, I puppied out and opted for Turbotax. Partly because I was unsure about some of my choices. Partly because an article explained upfront the different levels of Turbotax and the cost of each. I'd always hated starting the free version, getting so far and having to upgrade, and then when that repeated, quitting the app. But this time I knew the cost of doing 1099-B and crypto, $80 some dollars. And--wish I'd known this a week ago--Turbotax can import 1099s. So I decided to give it a try. Sure enough it was able to connect to each financial institution and import all the data, minutes that I slaved hours over. And best of all, after reporting all my income, it reports I'll get about a $1000 more back! A few more steps and I should be done.
